After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xiang quickly contacted his professor, who agreed to his application on the condition that he would come up with a work that he could accept to participate in this year's National Architectural Design Competition. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, that night, the three members of Jinzhu's family and Jin Yang went back to the city, and the two of them each dealt with their own affairs, and three days later, Li Xiang took Jinzhu and Li Zang on the plane to Boston.

After settling in Boston, Jin Zhu played with her children every day in addition to her normal exercises, including games, building blocks, puzzles, playing the piano, playing backgammon and doodles, and of course, Jin Zhu would also tell her children the stories in the "Three Character Classic".

On this day of Thanksgiving, Xiyue and Pan Xiaowei came again, these two came from New York to visit her on the first weekend after Jinzhu arrived in the United States, and since then, almost as long as they are on vacation, these two people have come to Jinzhu's house, on the one hand, it is to visit Jinzhu, on the other hand, it is natural to satisfy their hunger.

These two people are foodies, especially Pan Xiaowei, who complained a lot in the United States that they couldn't eat authentic Chinese food, especially authentic hometown food, and they missed the sour and spicy feeling.

The problem is that although Jin Zhu's body has almost recovered, Li Xiang is afraid that she will be tired, so he just asks her to take care of the children, and the rest is handed over to the part-time worker, so naturally Jin Zhu is not allowed to enter the kitchen.

"Jinzhu, I especially miss the situation when everyone flocked to your house to eat when I was a freshman in high school, everything I would eat was fragrant, you said that my family would not be unconditional, why do you think your food is so fragrant?" As soon as Pan Xiaowei entered the door and saw that Li Xiang was not there, he pulled the golden bead and sprinkled coquettishly.

"What, then you just think it's fun, and you feel a sense of accomplishment to eat with others." Xiyue glanced at Pan Xiaowei.

"It's delicious, do you dare to say that you don't eat well?" Pan Xiaowei's eyes widened and put on a quarrelsome posture.

"Okay, don't argue, I happened to be planning to cook today, I haven't done it for so long, and I don't know if there is any regression." Jin Zhu saw that Pan Xiaowei was like a fighting again, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

After so many years, it is rare that she still maintains this simple temperament.

Xiyue heard that Jin Zhu was going to cook, so he took the initiative to take over Li Zang, and asked Li what he wanted to do.

"I've gone to the school library, and I'll be back for lunch at noon."

Li Xiang started school more than half a month late, pulled down a lot of homework, and he had to get his graduation certificate in this year, so his time was very tight, and he basically didn't rest on weekends, either in the school library or in the study at home to draw and design.

"Your family's Li Xiang's net worth is thick enough, why are you still working so hard, taking advantage of your youth to play more with you?" Pan Xiaowei read a sentence in pieces.

She is mainly upset about Jin Zhu, Jin Zhu has been lying for more than a year, and she accompanied Li Xiang to the United States before she woke up and her body has not recovered.

"No, he wants to get the graduation certificate as soon as possible and accompany me back to the imperial capital to study." Jin Zhu explained with a smile.

Because the two don't want to separate, they can only study with him first, if they don't have to work for a year, Li Xiang is naturally anxious.

"That's it, don't you know what people want to do with Jinzhu?" After Xiyue finished speaking, seeing Pan Xiaowei blowing his nose and glaring again, he hurriedly hugged Li Zang and went to play on the lawn outside with a leather ball.

Jin Zhu took Pan Xiaowei into the kitchen together, today is Thanksgiving, and she originally planned to cook a hometown-style meal for Li Xiang.

She also has a grateful heart.

While the two were busy, Xiyue suddenly ran in and said that there were two guests outside.

Jin Zhu saw that his expression was a little strange, and when he saw that he didn't even bring the child in, he guessed the identity of the guest.

On the third day that she and Li Xiang moved here, Li Ruizhao came to see them, and on the National Day, he took Kangxin to come again, and Jin Zhu also knew that Kangxin finally chose him.

Therefore, this time Jin Zhu also thought that Li Ruizhao and Kang Xin were coming, put down the kitchen knife in her hand, she didn't even untie her apron and went out of the kitchen, and when she walked through the living room, she saw a man with gray hair squatting on the ground holding Li Zang, and the one next to him who poured something out of the trunk of the car was Li Ruizhao.

When she walked outside the door and went down the steps, Jin Zhu had already identified that the person with gray hair was Li Yifang, she really didn't expect him to change so much, his hair was almost completely white, not to mention, the wrinkles on his face were also much deeper, he looked like a mediocre old man who had achieved nothing, and the elegant and steady elder she saw in the Q University Art Exhibition Hall a few years ago did not seem to be a person.

Jin Zhu heard Li Xiang talk about Li Fangfang's resignation, and also knew that he stayed in the United States for a period of time after resigning and returned to China.

But the Li side in front of him gave Jin Zhu the feeling that he had not really let go of his past desire for power, and of course he had not really let go of his past grievances, because of this, he couldn't see his own gains and losses, so his heart had not been truly peaceful.

When Jin Zhu was observing Li Fangfang, Li Fang had already seen someone coming from the shadow on the ground, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Jin Zhu, and he stood up together with the child in his arms.

"I came to the United States to see Xiaozhao, I heard that you are here, so let's take a look together, didn't bother you?" Li Yifang said as he also observed Jin Zhu.

He knew that this family did not welcome him, and he also thought about not disturbing each other, but since he had come to the United States, he felt unwilling not to come on this trip.

Li Xiang is also his son, Li Zang is his first grandson, as a father, he has lost the growth of his son, but as a grandfather, he wants to try to work hard to see if he can leave a mark on the child's growth.

Jin Zhu saw that Li Fang was so cautious, but he couldn't say anything accusatory, so he had to reply lightly, "Ah Xiang is not at home." ”

"Jin Zhu, we don't look for him, we just come to see you and the child, this is a little dry goods that my father brought back from China, I think you should like to eat." Li Ruizhao pointed to the two large cardboard boxes on the ground, and he was still holding four or five scrolls in his hands.

"By the way, Jin Zhu, there are a few paintings painted by my father, which were given to Ah Zang, he said that he hadn't taken a paintbrush for many years, and he was a little rusty in painting, so don't dislike it." Li Ruizhao stuffed the scroll in his hand into Jin Zhu's hand.

"I'll talk about this after I ask Ah Xiang." Jin Zhu didn't want to make this decision for Li Xiang.

"Kid, open it up and take a look." Li Fangfang said.

When Jin Zhu heard this, he glanced at the other party suspiciously, and finally dismantled one of the scrolls, which depicted a young man hugging a woman from behind, and the woman was holding a little boy in her hand, the man's facial features were seven or eight points similar to Li Xiang, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were also seven or eight points similar to Jin Zhu, and the little boy in his arms was also seven or eight points similar to Li Zang, and the man and woman on the picture looked at the child's face full of love, and the child's face was also full of smiles.

"This is what I took to see the picture Xiao Zhong took and painted it in one night." Li Fang explained.

"Also, you can look at something else." Li Ruizhao opened another painting for Jin Zhu.

This painting depicts a pregnant woman, the woman's appearance is somewhat similar to Ma Chunyu, the woman is standing on the river embankment, her eyes are looking into the distance, as if she is expecting something, her hands touch her belly, her lips are slightly open, as if she is muttering and humming in a low voice.

The third painting is also a mother and child, a young mother holding a baby breastfeeding, the mother looks down at her son, although she can't see her eyes, but the tenderness of this bow instantly stings Jinzhu's eyes.

The fourth painting is still a mother and child, except that the mother in this painting is wearing a Miao costume sitting on the river embankment and playing the harmonica by herself, while the children around her are staring at her blankly, their eyes full of admiration.

"We won't stay to bother you, show him these paintings, that's all I can do for him, keep if you like it, and return it to me if you don't like it." Li Fangfang saw that Jin Zhu was looking at this painting in a daze for a long time, and did not invite him to sit in, so he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Jin Zhu is a woman, or a woman from ancient times, seeing Li Fangfang like this, he sighed in his heart, "If Mr. Li is willing to play with the child, stay and play with the child for a while." ”

As for the rest, let's wait for Li Xiang to come back before making a decision.

Li Fangfang nodded and said okay, Jin Zhu turned around and entered the house, Li Ruizhao looked at Jin Zhu's back, and then looked at his father's happy expression, bent down and hugged the cardboard box on the ground into the house.

When Li Xiang came back, Li Fang had already taken Li Zang into the house, the child was sweating outside, Li Fang was afraid that the child would catch a cold, and he would be sitting on the floor of the living room with the child playing with blocks.

Li Xiang recognized Li Ruizhao's car when he parked outside, but when he pushed the door into the house, he didn't expect that there was another Li Fangfang.

"Ah Xiang, Dad is here from his hometown and wants to see Jinzhu and the child." Li Ruizhao saw Li Xiang enter the door with a black face, and hurriedly got up to explain.

It makes sense for him to explain this, Jin Zhu has just recovered from her illness, and it is also appropriate for her to come and see her as an elder, in addition, Li Fang is sorry for Li Xiang, but he does not owe the child, and the right to visit the child should still be there.

"After that, you can go." Li Xiang replied coldly.

Li Ruizhao wanted to say something, but Li Fang grabbed him and shook his head, "Okay, we're also planning to leave." ”

Jin Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the movement, walked out, stepped forward to take Li Xiang's computer bag, and pointed to the table, "Mr. Li sent you a few paintings, saying that they were for Ah Zang, you can see if you can keep them." ”

"Don't stay." Li Xiang squeezed out two words stiffly.

"Let's see what you're drawing." Jin Zhu pushed him to the table.

Li wanted to see Jin Zhu and asked him to look at the paintings, and he also opened one of them suspiciously, and coincidentally, he opened a family photo of their family of three.

To be honest, since Li Zang was born, he has to take care of both Jinzhu and Li Zang, and he has to complete Jinzhu's novel in his spare time, and from time to time Qu Feng also gives him a few design tasks, so he has not drawn a family portrait of their family of three for more than a year.

Therefore, he wanted to stay in this painting, and it was meaningless to stay by Li Fangfang's side, because no matter who looked at this painting, he could recognize that it was a painting of his family of three.

When I opened the other paintings, I saw that they were all portraits of his mother and him, and Li Xiang had no reason to send them away, who knows who will fall into the hands of Li Fang in the future, and who knows if his mother's portrait will be cheapened.

But let Li Xiang open his mouth and say that he couldn't leave these portraits, no matter how he said that this was also Li Fangfang's thing, he was afraid that after he opened this mouth, Li Fang would send him a few such paintings from time to time, would he accept it or not?

If you don't accept it, you're worried that these paintings will be ruined if they are left there, after all, the person on the painting is his mother.

Jin Zhu has lived with him for a long time, and seeing his entanglement, he smiled and said: "Since Mr. Li said that these paintings were given to Ah Zang, let's leave them for Ah Zang, and when the child grows up, he will also see what his grandmother looks like." ”

According to Li Xiang's recollection, his mother left a total of four photos, one on the primary school graduation certificate, one on the junior high school graduation certificate, and a high school graduation certificate and a high school graduation class photo, all of which are black and white, Ma Chunyu in the photo is quite young, and it is still a little different from the portrait of a mother.

Therefore, the reason for finding is barely reasonable, and as for not letting Li Yifang paint in the future, they don't count what they said.

"Yes, yes, leave a memory for the child and remember what his grandmother looked like." Li Fang was afraid that Li Xiang would not leave these paintings, so he echoed as he walked out.

Li Xiang turned his back to Li Fangfang, neither turned around to give it away nor opened his mouth to keep people, but stared at the portrait in a daze.

However, Jin Zhu hesitated, chased after him, sent Li Fang to the door, and when the other party got into the car, he said: "Mr. Li, after all, the people and things in the past have passed, no matter how much you regret it, it will not help, if you have this thought, it is better to take pity on the person in front of you, and don't let the past mistakes be made again." Also, only when a person really lets go of the past can he gain inner peace and can he really calm down and do something well. Of course, I don't say this just to persuade you, but also for Zang, I don't want Zang to be sensible and ask him what kind of person his grandfather is, and we don't know how to answer. ”

After Jin Zhu finished speaking, she didn't wait to take a look at Li Fang's reaction and turned around and went back to the house, she was anxious to see Li Xiang, the person she really cared about was Ah Xiang.

Li Fang didn't get into the car immediately after seeing Jin Zhu enter the house, but chewed Jin Zhu's words carefully, and after a while, his eyes turned red. (To be continued.) )
